Over priced hack job. And I got charged extra checking out because my stylist had straightened my hair, $10 for a style that comes with a cut and color? What?
I had an absolutely terrible experience here today. I went to the Hamburg Location to get and ombre in my hair. I was put with a stylist who did not know how to do it. They found another stylist to do the ombre, but I have no idea what it looked like because the stylist who then cut my hair CUT OUT ALL THE BLONDE! So the color that I paid to have put in, was then cut out! Additionally, this is one of the worst hair cuts I have had in a long time. She also could not style hair and the blow out had still wavy parts in it when I got home and was able to look more closely at it. All together with tips this cost me about $250 and it honestly looks like I took a pair of kitchen scissors and did it myself. My hair is completely ruined!!!!! I could not possibly be more disappointed. Everyone out there... Do not waste your money on an ombre - they do not know what they are doing!
Weird experience – First impression is everything and this place was not customer friendly!
I was walking around the village and passed by the salon to get prices for a haircut and color. I walk in and no one acknowledged me. I made eye contact with one of the stylists and she just looked away, no one welcomed me in. It was not a good feeling - just a weird vibe that they weren't happy that I was there. I had never been to this salon and right when I walked in, I wanted to just walk out. All of the stylist were busy and I understand that but to give such an unwelcoming vibe is not OK! I waited for ten minutes and I was greeted by the receptionist. She was nice but by then I made up my mind about this salon. Even though I have yet to experience a haircut or a color at this salon I wouldn't go back.
CORTO'S IS THE BEST – Corto's is for those who deserve the BEST. From the second you walk in you are treated like someone special.I see Missy ...She is the BEST ! I have not been there in a while ... Will be calling SOON to see Missy again.... I DESERVE THE BEST ... SO CORTO'S IS FOR ME !! :)
THIS PLACE WILL NOT STOP SPAMMING ME! Normally I would never take the time to sign up for a website to review somewhere but this place is ridiculous. I went there once to get my nails done and now I get something like 2 emails or so a week. I don't even remember giving them my email? I think I've clicked "click here to stop receiving emails" at least 10x. The emails don't stop. Whatever you do do not give these people your email...
Eh...Sigh – I've seen better. Rude staff/management. Cut only so-so for the price. I can do better elsewhere. Probably not going back.
TERRIBLE! – I can't believe they still have clients. I went there in December with a picture of a simple bob cut with bangs. I had never been there before so I didn't request anyone specific. A woman greeted me (very friendly) but told me how this is her 2nd career. She must've barely passed her boards to get a license because I was completely embarrassed and just wanted to get out of there. I looked ridiculas. I had an uneven, HORRIBLE cut that my fiance said made me look like a boy. Called angrily the next day because I needed to have my hair in a teenie ponytail because there was nothing I could do with it. I was not going to walk around like that and have never had to get a redo before. I left a message on their machine & didnt receive a call back. I called again and spoke with someone & they told me to come in. There was a wonderful stylist there that took an hour and a half to correct my cut. She basically had to cut off all my hair because it was so uneven. I did get alot of compliments on that cut though! She did a great job. So when I needed a new cut I made my appointment with her. I drove from Cheektowaga to get there and when I arrived I was told she no longer worked there and they had another stylist. UGH!!!!! NO!!!!! Well, here we go again & he proceeded to cut and slice & razor my fine hair to nothing when once again I just wanted an inverted bob. He told me I could fluff it up when I got home & was once again sent home from Cortos looking like a fool. Well I certainly learned a hard lesson & now have a wonderful stylist that evened my cut and sent me home to grow out all those awful layers I have in my super fine hair. Cortos...You are a clients nightmare!!!
Great – I have been a loyal cort'os customer for a few years now and I have always been satisfied with every visit.
I recently had my hair done twice by Kristen and she did such a beautiful job- I would highly recommend.
A massage therapist who knows what you need – I have only had a few massages before this one, but this was my first at Season's. My back and my neck have been bothering me for a while now and let me tell you the minute I walked into that place my muscles instantly relaxed. The staff was so receptive and made me feel extremely comfortable. I went to the Hamburg location and the therapist I had stretched my muscles in ways I didn't even know they could. Unfortunately, I was on a tight schedule and only had time for a half hour massage, but let me tell you I will be clearing my schedule here shortly for at least an hour with her. JoAnn you are the best! See you soon and thank you very much!!
Seasons Management did not care about me (a regular client and bride) – I had been a regular client of both Seasons & Cortos for my hair & nails & so I chose to have all my services for my wedding done between the 2. This review is only for services at Seasons- Cortos was wonderful to me & I am loyal to them... The week of my wedding Donna (Seasons Mngr) called me to tell me that my nail tech had been in an accident & could not do my nails. She did apologize but at that point she shld have offered someone else to do them or some type of compensation on other services ( I was also having makeup done there). Although very angry, I still had my makeup done there (Holly is awesome!), but I will never go back for any other services. Donna needs some training on better servicing loyal clients or she will lose more of us.

I'm a little confused about how soon after my cardio workout I should eat. I try to do my workouts first thing in the morning, but becasue I have no equipment in my apartment, I sometimes have to plan around getting into the city to my gym which I can't do til later. I try to wait 2 hours after my meal before I workout, but I'm not sure if I should wait an additional hour after the workout to eat since I am trying to burn fat.
I'm new at this but I was told to do cardio on an empty stomach (3 hours after last meal) and wait an hour before eating again. For weights, also on an empty stomach but eat some proteins within 30 minutes after finishing the routine. Hope this helps.
Welcome to the challenge.
I called the number on this web site and they told me to have a protein shake within 30mins of my weight training and my cardio. I use the light shakes. hope this helps. :)
Thanks so much! It's a big help. I'm still struggling a little bit with the best foods for belly-fat-burn, but I'm hoping that scheduling my meals around my workouts will help because I definitely had been accustomed to eating a little something before and a lot after. :)
According to the latest research.....If your goal is muscle building (which is the goal on weightlifting days) you should eat within 30 minutes of weight training. Shakes are good because the nutrients hit your system quicker. If your goal is fat loss, then it is best to wait an hour after cardio because you are still in a fat burning stage after the cardio and once you put food in your system, your body will switch over to burning carbs as the primary fuel source. You are still burning calories even after you put food in your system, but your body is no longer pulling directly from your fat stores.
You can still achieve great results by following the rest of the program even if your schedule does not allow you to eat at the times mentioned above. However, research shows muscles recover best when refueled within the "golden window" and you can burn a little extra fat by capatalizing on the after burn of your cardio session and waiting an hour to eat.
Awesome. That was the clarification I was looking for. I'll change my eating after weight lifting because I do want to add some muscle which I know also helps to burn out your overall body fat. It's important for me to stay strong physically because that helps me stay strong mentally!

Mills & Reeve
Click here to access full coverage of Mills & Reeve in The Lawyer UK 200 2013. Featuring the UK's leading law firms ranked by turnover, as well as extensive benchmarking data, the report is a comprehensive market intelligence resource for the UK legal sector.
Mills & Reeve's merger with Manchester's George Davies on 1 June 2013 boosts the firm's presence to 870 staff and creates a full-service law firm in northern England, according to Mills & Reeve managing partner Guy Hinchley.
Combined revenue is expected to reach £77m, increasing the 2011–12 turnover of £69.4m. The financial integration pushes the total number of partners to 112 in six offices across Birmingham, Cambridge, Leeds, London, Manchester and Norwich.
'We are very excited about the potential that our increased scale gives us in the north and the further career opportunities that it creates for the talented lawyers and business support professionals,' Hinchley said. The firm will be branded Mills & Reeve in all its offices.
Mark Hovell, George Davies' managing partner, said the Manchester firm chose Mills & Reeve because of their synergy, culture and ability to offer specialist advice to a larger client base.
'This merger will enable us to offer our clients access to a wider range of legal services and specialist sector advice from the Mills & Reeve national practice and international networks and also to pursue new clients who have previously been beyond our reach,' he said.
Mills & Reeve has worked on several high-profile deals in the past year, including management of the Weetabix Food Company on a major investment from Bright Food. Bright Food acquired 60 per cent of the share capital of Weetabix for an enterprise value of £1.2bn. Mills & Reeve's corporate finance partner Stephen Hamilton advised on a £6.15m institutional fundraising for Bango, a leading mobile technology company that counts BlackBerry, Facebook, CNN and Thomson Reuters among its clients, while George Davies partner Chris Ross led the team advising Barleymow Ltd on the sale of its Ormskirk-based caravan park for an undisclosed sum.
George Davies celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2013, a year of change for both firms, with Mills & Reeve making six new internal partner appointments on 1 June. In March, Vince Cable, secretary of state for business, innovation and skills, visited Cambridge to mark the opening of a new Mills & Reeve office. Dr Cable described Cambridge as the 'Silicon Valley of Britain'.
In the past year, much of Mills & Reeve's financial growth has been led by corporates — including finance and litigation but not PFI — contributing the most to turnover at 38 per cent (£26.3m). Property (including PFI and agriculture) at 28 per cent (£19.4m) of total revenue and 'other' (covering insurance and private client) made up 34 per cent (£23.5m) of total income.
The firm has also been 'managing the margin' by using its lowest overheads base in Norwich as a paralegal support unit, mainly for documentation discovery in large litigation matters. This is in response to its public sector clients putting pressure on rates.

The Guardian Express (02.09.13)
Aids Weekly Plus
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that a protein in seminal fluid speeds up the spread of HIV in uterine tissue. The protein, called interleukin 7 (IL-7), is from a family of proteins that regulate the immune response. IL-7 is found in normal semen, but is found at high levels in the semen of men with HIV infection.
The researchers created a culture system of small pieces of cervical tissue and used it to simulate male-to female HIV transmission. They then observed the spread of the virus to tissue under controlled conditions at the laboratory. In tissue containing IL-7 at levels found in the semen of HIV-infected men, the virus spread more quickly than to tissue that was not treated with IL-7. The researchers suggest that IL-7 alone or along with other molecules foster male-to-female HIV transmission. Also, it is possible that the level of IL-7 in semen determines how infectious a specific HIV-infected male is for a female partner.
HIV targets T cells, a type of immune cell that helps organize the body's defenses against disease-causing organisms. The T cells die quickly when they are infected with HIV, before the virus can produce a large number of copies of itself. The researchers found that in isolated pieces of cervical tissue, HIV-infected T cells live longer in the presence of IL-7 and continue to produce the virus. IL-7 also stimulated uninfected T cells to divide, thus increasing their number. The new T cells are additional targets for the virus to enable it to increase its spread. Researchers believe that one day it may be possible to prevent or delay HIV transmission by blocking seminal IL-7.The researchers said that they need additional studies to confirm the observations.

With the Bush Administration, the corruption isn't hidden in the Lincoln Bedroom. It's paraded in your face. On June 18 Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill lunched with executives of leading financial houses at Windows on the World high atop New York's World Trade Center. His unstated purpose was to help raise $20 million from the companies he regulates, as an initial ante for a private advertising campaign to promote Social Security privatization. When George W. Bush joked during the campaign that the rich were "my base," he wasn't kidding.
The Administration has lurched straight from its tax cut to privatizing Social Security. On June 11 the sixteen members of Bush's Commission to Strengthen Social Security, all handpicked by the White House for their prior support of private accounts, announced that they are unanimously in favor of using part of Social Security taxes to create "individually controlled personal retirement accounts" to be invested in the stock market. Commission co-chairman Richard Parsons, co-chief operating officer of AOL-Time Warner, made the costs clear, saying the panel would consider raising the retirement age and cutting benefits. "For future retirees, you can consider everything on the table," he said.
A coalition of citizen organizations led by the Institute for America's Future and including labor, women's groups, the National Urban League, senior and youth groups, and disability activists immediately denounced the commission members as "astonishingly unrepresentative of the views held by most Americans concerning Social Security's future." A week later two members of the House Ways and Means Committee ran into a Midwestern version of the same citizens' coalition in Missouri when they conducted a "field hearing" to promote privatization. According to the St. Petersburg Times, committee chairman Bill Thomas had envisioned the hearing as an opportunity to foment an "intergenerational clash" between retirees and Generation Xers on Social Security reform. Instead, seniors and young people demonstrated for "intergenerational solidarity" against privatization.
Similarly, O'Neill's airy power lunch was punctuated by a protest rally organized by the AFL-CIO, the Institute for America's Future, the New York Statewide Senior Action Council, the 2030 Center (for young people) and other groups. Joined by Representatives Jerrold Nadler and Jan Schakowsky, the protesters denounced the blatant impropriety of O'Neill's helping solicit private funds to lobby for a plan that will generate billions for financial barons like Morgan Stanley, American International Group, Citigroup and Deutsche Bank, all of whom were expected to be at the lunch.
To repeat what we've said before: Social Security is not in financial trouble now and may never be; just tweak the actuarial assumptions used by the privatizers and any shortfall disappears. But even if more money is needed at some point to pay benefits, sensible solutions are at hand--the simplest being to raise or remove the cap on the amount of earnings on which Social Security taxes are levied. That idea, of course, does not go down well with the high-income crowd that supports Bush.
By the fall, the Bush Administration will hang around the neck of every Republican running for Congress a detailed plan for privatization, and Bush and O'Neill will be publicly identified with the campaign designed to sell this lemon to the American people. In 2002, Americans will have a clear choice to make.
A Nation analysis finds that benefits to Bush, Cheney and the Cabinet could top million.
An activist think tank is fighting the right at the ballot box--and winning.
If all goes as the GOP has planned, George W. Bush will have on his desk by Memorial Day a $1.35 trillion tax bill that is wrongheaded and an utterly inequitable pander to the privileged. Every American should be clear about what this bill is: a blueprint that will define the political and social landscape we live in for decades to come. The immense tax cuts will not only disproportionately benefit the wealthy and increase the widening gap between rich and poor, they will also severely circumscribe the government's capacity to help improve the lives of all Americans. (As if to prove the point, the Senate Finance Committee voted out this tax giveaway the same day the Senate voted against increased funding for teachers to help reduce class size.) This downsizing--indeed, emaciation--of government is of course exactly what the right is aiming for. Grover Norquist, "field marshal" of the Bush tax plan, was quoted recently in these pages saying that his goal is "to cut government in half...to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."
Under the plan, the 400 richest multimillionaires will receive tax breaks worth an average of $1 million a year. The poorest working families will get zip, even as the nation faces a growing investment deficit measured in children without healthcare, families without housing, overcrowded airports and neglected alternative energy and conservation. Senate "moderates" claim they improved the bill, which is true. Under the original Bush plan, 26 million children in low- and moderate-income families would get no benefit from the tax plan. Under the modified bill, that drops to 10.6 million. The $58 billion a year handed to the wealthiest 1 percent could be used to lift another 2 million children out of poverty, provide health insurance to 5.1 million uninsured children, fund universal preschool and expand childcare services to more than 9 million children--two-thirds of those eligible.
Besides being unfair, the bill, which stretches the cuts over eleven years rather than Bush's original ten, is dishonest--in reality a stealth raid on the Treasury. The Senate earlier voted to cut the Bush tax plan by 25 percent. To meet this, the Finance Committee simply backloaded the bill even more than originally planned--phasing in the full tax cuts later so they don't count under the ten-year limit used to estimate its costs. The $1.35 trillion giveaway balloons to $4.2 trillion in the next decade, after all the provisions kick in. It also calls for ending popular tax breaks in a few years--like the tax credit for research and development--in the confidence that no future Congress would choose to do so. Plus the bill is designed so that 40 million taxpayers will eventually be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax, insuring changes that will add dramatically to the total cost. And the Republican Congress is just warming up: Even now the K Street lobbyists are cooking up ways to lard a minimum-wage-increase bill with fat corporate tax cuts.
Bush has peddled this tax cut as the elixir for a good economy and a bad one, for rising gas prices and declining stock prices, for small businesses and waitress moms. The repeal of the estate tax is shamelessly presented as a way to save family farmers, even though advocates cannot locate one farm that has actually been lost because of the tax. It's all hype, lies and distortion.
Remember--in 2002 and beyond--those responsible, from Bush to the Republican majority that marched lockstep in support, to the handful of Democratic renegades who provided the margin. They must be held accountable for this travesty.
He's an archconservative who thinks big and knows how to get things done.
In one of the most foolish and cruelly ironic urban public policy decisions in recent memory, New York Governor George Pataki and New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani are planning to shower a series of subsidies, expected to total more than $1 billion, on the high citadel of self-styled free-market global capitalism, the New York Stock Exchange.
In December the city entered into a letter of intent to assist the NYSE in constructing a new trading floor. The arrangement commits the city to acquire land for the new exchange building, and for the city and state to construct a new trading floor for the NYSE and to grant it tax and subsidized energy benefits. In exchange, the taxpayers receive $10 million in annual rent, which will never come close to reimbursing the city and state for their costs.
The sole purported rationale for this corporate welfare bonanza is to retain the NYSE in New York City. If one were to credit this claim, the gift of more than $1 billion for the purpose of retaining fewer than 6,000 jobs--while not even ostensibly creating new ones--would, even by the corrupt standards of job-retention- blackmail deals between corporations and politicians, set a high-water mark for casuistry. However, the deal is even worse than that description suggests. There is no chance that the stock exchange would leave New York City. When I went on the NYSE floor last year and asked veteran traders about the possibility of the exchange moving to New Jersey, they laughed as they dismissed it out of hand. In addition to the institutional identity and reputation of the stock exchange, its personal connections to Wall Street firms--committed to New York City by history, by the Manhattan residences of many of their principals and employees and by long-term office rental commitments, increasingly sealed by yet other city subsidies--preclude the possibility of a move across the Hudson to become the Hoboken Stock Exchange.
NYSE's New Jersey ploy is nothing more than a ruse for covering public officials using what Justice Louis Brandeis once called "other people's money." As is typical of such arrangements, the corporate-politician conspiracy to ramrod the deal is shrouded in secrecy and in contempt for democratic processes. The city refuses to make available to the public a copy of the letter of intent it signed with the NYSE to proceed with the deal. The architectural plans for the building complex--expected by preservation advocates to generate outrage--remain concealed. The governor forced legislation authorizing the deal to go forward on a super-expedited basis, leaving legislators virtually no time to review the bill. They proceeded to pass it unanimously. New York City Council members also have failed to object to the bill.
The Fourth Estate, perhaps inured to the issue by the steady drumbeat of announcements regarding New York City taxpayer subsidies for big business, has done a less than stellar job covering this boondoggle. The New York Times editorial page endorsed the scheme years ago, when it was first being floated. Recognizing "why some oppose on principle any concession to the blackmailing tactics of businesses that threaten to move unless they get public assistance," the Times concluded that New York had no choice but to succumb. "If New York City refuses to play this game, other, hungrier cities and states will take advantage of that passivity." Apparently, the corporate executives at The New York Times Co. found this argument persuasive. In February the Times and New York City completed their own corporate welfare deal--giving the Times $29 million in tax breaks and other incentives to maintain its offices in Times Square.
It would be hard to script a more brazen and shameless corporate giveaway than a billion-dollar donation to the emblem of global capitalism from a city where nearly one in three children lives in poverty, and public investment necessities go begging. But the final act of the NYSE drama has yet to play out: There is still time for the citizens of New York, and at least one of the candidates seeking to replace Giuliani when his term expires at the end of this year, to demand cancellation of this corrupt deal.
Resident Bush's budget brandishes the camouflaged conservatism that is the hallmark of this disingenuous Administration. It advertises a 4 percent increase in discretionary spending that's in reality virtually a freeze, after taking into account inflation and population growth. Since spending on the military is going up, the amount actually committed to domestic programs is cut by 4.7 percent in real per capita terms. Bush boasts an 11 percent increase in education funding, but much of that simply counts money committed in last year's budget. And the increase is offset by deep cuts in expenditures for job training and displaced workers, even as the economy slows.
Much of the budget is fraudulent, knowingly so. Spending must be squelched to afford Bush's tax cut while paying down the debt. But the President isn't serious about cutting popular programs. So he calls for deep cuts in farm programs, which he knows Republican senators will block. He ends subsidies to US shipbuilders, which he knows Senate majority leader Trent Lott will reverse. Otherwise, the largest losers are environmental, renewable energy and energy conservation programs. Bush's answer to the energy crisis is to drill on every jot of federal land that might hold oil. His prescription for those concerned about global warming is presumably a little more arsenic in their water. The real military budget remains a mystery, awaiting the Defense Secretary's "strategic review." Yet, even the defense marker used in the current budget returns the military to its cold war average.
Democrats and moderate Republicans are boasting that they've already abandoned the Bush budget and are falsely declaring victory because they knocked a quarter off his tax cut. Congress will surely add money to education, restore funds to children's health and disability programs, and protect farmers (read, agribusiness). And it is likely to double the funds Bush earmarks for a prescription drug benefit in Medicare. We will witness a furious debate over these numbers, with Democrats and moderate Republicans in the Senate facing off against the remorseless Tom DeLay and his conservative majority in the House.
Lost in this scrapping is any mention of the real opportunities facing the nation. Years of economic growth have generated potential government surpluses--$5.6 trillion at the most recent estimate. Now, with the economy slowing, we have the chance to invest in making the country better and help jump-start the economy at the same time. Bush's most disingenuous claim is that his budget "takes care of our needs." In reality, it merely assumes that all needs are met and projects a continued decline in federal domestic discretionary programs to their lowest levels as a percentage of GDP in history.
Instead, we could truly address the disgraceful truth that in this rich nation one in six children is raised in poverty and deprived of the healthy, fair start vital to equal opportunity. Now we have the resources to rebuild an aging and overburdened infrastructure--witnessed daily in the power blackouts, collapsing sewers and aged water systems, overburdened airports, deferred toxic waste cleanups. Now we can redress the growing shortage of affordable housing and insure that every American has access to healthcare. We could even meet the international standard for foreign assistance and lead the world in providing real debt relief for the poor nations and in launching a humane response to the AIDS pandemic. All these are within reach--but are ruled out by a bipartisan consensus that more than half the surplus ($3 trillion over ten years) must be used for debt reduction in the name of "saving" Social Security and Medicare. Bush would consume the rest of the projected surplus (if not more) with his tax cuts, about 40 percent of which will go to the millionaires in the richest 1 percent of the nation. Democrats seem ready to declare victory if they can trim Bush's ten-year tax cut by 25 percent and spend the savings primarily on a prescription drug benefit.
We are about to witness a debate about priorities in Washington. But none of the alternatives debated will address our challenges or our opportunities. If progressives in the Democratic Party are to serve any function, it's time for them to find their voice.
In the clash over tax cuts and social programs, much of what progressives need to do is defensive. But it would be a mistake not to float new ideas, too.
In recent months, as a newly elected senator, I have had to decide whether to join the Democratic Leadership Council. I have chosen not to because while I shared its founding purpose, which was to frame a successful response to President Reagan's efforts to portray Democrats as the party of "tax and spend," social engineering and failed personal responsibility, I believe that purpose has been largely accomplished.
Today, I believe that it is vital for Democrats to stand up for a sharply defined progressive agenda--one that is committed to fighting for practical and progressive policies for working families and America's middle class--even when that means challenging powerful interests and the status quo. I am absolutely convinced that, standing on the foundation of fiscal stability that Democrats have built and to which the DLC contributed, we now have to fight for our convictions. If we begin to negotiate from the middle, the end result inevitably takes us to the right of where I believe our nation should be.
Nothing is more relevant to this point than today's debate over the Bush tax cut proposal. Democrats must remain firmly opposed to this budget-busting plan, which provides disproportionate benefits for the richest 1 percent of our population. It is relevant and essential to our argument that this tax cut is not only unfocused and poorly timed but also unfair. In fact, if we yield on fairness before the debate begins, we forfeit our fundamental ground. That is one reason I have proposed a tax cut that gives an immediate break to everyone equally and is targeted toward working families.
Moreover, the DLC has not convinced me that we should turn away from advocating an activist government--one that, for example, sees healthcare as a basic right for all Americans. And while compromise is an acceptable end, too much of it too soon has led to a paralysis on fundamental concerns such as healthcare, gun safety, the environment and educational opportunity.
The critical point to be made by progressives in our national debate is this: While there are programs that have failed and should be reformed or eliminated, proactive government has often succeeded. An activist government was a driving force in the prosperity of the 1990s, as well as in providing our historic safety net, including Social Security, Medicare and Head Start. An activist government invested in the development of the Internet and the space program and spurred today's technological revolution. It was government investment that built our highways, air transit system and much of our communications network. And the list goes on. Without progressive leadership, would segregation have been outlawed? Would women have achieved as much access as they now have to equal rights? The pressure for advancement came from grassroots progressives. That said, reform and progress required our government to respond and lead. We're still far from the ideal, as racial profiling and unequal incomes for women and minorities attest. There are no African-American or Latino senators, but at least there are thirteen women senators--surely not enough, but more than there have ever been before. The lesson of history is clear: Equal rights for all depend on public action and so do equal pay, worker safety and retirement security. The barriers to opportunity for all don't just fall on their own.
Today, the progressive agenda must address the great unfinished challenges--for women, for middle-class families, for minorities and the poor. It's a hopeful agenda rooted in ideas and our ideals. As I put it in my Senate campaign, "Everyone ought to have the same access to the American promise I've had." America must be a society of equal opportunity and equal protection before the law. So I believe the progressive agenda of our party is more important than ever. And the principle that should guide us is clear: While we can't achieve equal outcomes, we can and must assure equal opportunity.
We also have to articulate the truth that advancing social and economic justice advances everyone's prosperity. We need to challenge the special interests that would limit the rights of labor and the opportunities of women and minorities, because we need all the talents of all our people to achieve maximum productivity and growth. We need to challenge the health insurance industry and finally win the battle for universal access to healthcare, because it is morally right and economically rational. Just because conservatives have demonized the term "universal healthcare" we should not walk away from that battle for the sake of a calculated centrism that splits the difference between right and wrong.
When I was a candidate, the polls said that the majority of New Jersey voters disagreed with my opposition to the death penalty. I'm grateful the voters respected that I said what I believed even when it wasn't popular. As progressives, we must be ready to do that. Most of the progressive agenda--healthcare, the environment, gun safety, a progressive tax policy-- reflects the values and the ideals of the majority of our people. They will vote for our agenda if we present it in practical terms and fight for it.
So while I respect the contribution of the DLC and while I respect its leaders, I'm not ready to join. The answer to "compassionate conservatism" isn't timid progressivism. It's a real commitment to equal opportunity, to fiscal responsibility and a fair society. We can and must be a party with the courage to stand tall for our beliefs because that's how we will be able to win as the party of the people.
Twenty years ago this season, when another new Republican President arrived in Washington to push for massive income-tax reductions, I was having breakfast every other Saturday morning with David Stockman, the brainy young budget director, and collecting his insider account of the Reagan revolution. Stockman was the enfant terrible who implemented the supply-side agenda and promised to achieve the improbable--reduce taxes dramatically and double defense spending, while cutting other federal programs sufficiently to produce a balanced budget. It didn't work out that way. Ronald Reagan's great legislative triumph of 1981 destabilized federal fiscal policy for nearly two decades, creating the massive structural deficits that were not finally extinguished until a few years ago. Washington seems about to replay history as farce, albeit on a less threatening scale. It prompts me to reflect on what, if anything, was learned from the revolution.
My private sessions with Stockman stretched over nine months and led to a controversial magazine article, "The Education of David Stockman," in which I disclosed the contradictions and internal swordplay behind Reaganomics, but the real sensation was Stockman's own growing doubts and disillusionment with the doctrine. Both of us were excoriated in the aftermath. The Gipper likened me to his would-be assassin John Hinckley. Stockman was roasted for duplicity and cynical manipulations; for concealing the truth about the looming deficits while Congress plunged forward in fateful error. Stockman was guileful, yes, but it was his intellectual honesty that shocked Washington. That brief moment of truth-telling resonates with the current delusions and deceptions. A lot of what he said twenty years ago seems painfully relevant.
"None of us really understands what's going on with all these numbers," the budget director confided during intense budget-cutting battles in the spring of 1981. That admission should be engraved over the door at the Treasury, the Capitol and the White House. Projections of fabulous budget surpluses that provide the premise for this year's political action are no less airy-fairy. Nonetheless, official fantasy becomes the operating truth, so long as everyone bows to it. Stockman's wishful forecasts on economic growth were nicknamed Rosy Scenario by his colleagues, but now the Congressional Budget Office has matched his rosiness. The economy is expanding this year by 2.4 percent and faster next year, according to the CBO. Actually, right now it's headed into the zero-minus territory known as recession.
Stockman's boldest accounting gimmick--reporting $40 billion in budget cuts but declining to identify them--was dubbed by insiders "the magic asterisk." Bush has already topped him with his "magic blueprint" and the miraculous "trillion-dollar reserve" he saves and spends at the same time. The new President has not actually issued a real budget, only a "blueprint" that leaves out the grisly, painful details of what spending will get whacked. Dubya sounds like the Queen of Hearts: Tax cuts first, punishment later! Congressional nerds protest, but Bush intends to ram through his tax cuts before anyone has been given an honest picture of the fiscal consequences.
"Do you realize the greed that came to the forefront?" Stockman exclaimed to me twenty years ago. "The hogs were really feeding." As the Reagan White House lost control of the action, Democrats and Republicans engaged in a furious bidding war to see which party could deliver more tax breaks and other boodle to the special-interest hogs (Republicans won, but the Dems gave it a good try). The Bushies recognize this danger and are trying to wall off the usual business greedheads from exploiting the same opening this year. The deal-making may still begin, however, if the White House is a few votes shy and needs to seduce a few hungry senators with special favors. As Stockman learned, if you buy one senator, you might have to buy them all.
Another of Stockman's vivid metaphors is the centerpiece for 2001--the "Trojan horse" approach to rewarding the rich. Giving everyone the same percentage rate cut sounds fair, but actually delivers most of the money to the very wealthy, who pay the top rate. Supply-side doctrine "was always a Trojan horse to bring down the top rate," Stockman revealed. "It's kind of hard to sell trickle-down economics, so the supply-side formula was the only way to get a tax policy that was really trickle down." This year's new wrinkle is a Keynesian twist. Instead of talking about rich investors who need a little encouragement to invest in America, Bush talks about the waitresses who need a little cash to pay off their credit-card debts.
The most disturbing difference I see in 2001 is political--the role reversal between the two major parties. What Republicans learned from the revolution is this: Deficit spending doesn't really count for that much in politics--not among average voters--and a party will not be punished for creating fiscal disorder as long as other good things seem to happen. Democrats used to understand this as a visceral matter but have forgotten the street-smarts their party knew in olden days. On fiscal discipline, the two have swapped positions. Republicans, once the scolds, are now the reckless feel-good party, willing to risk big deficits in order to deliver goodies to main constituencies. Democrats, perhaps wishing for respectability, have become the party of rectitude, preaching forbearance of pleasure. Republicans want voters to have a little fun. Democrats sound like nervous bookkeepers.
Leaving aside economic consequences, Democrats have dealt themselves a very weak position, even though they're largely right about the budget accounting. Most Americans are not fiscal experts and cannot be expected to absorb all the fine-print arguments about cause and effect. Think of the old Far Side cartoon with a dog listening to his master. All the dog hears is: "Fido, blah, blah, blah, Fido, blah, blah, blah." What voters hear from Republicans is: "Want to cut your taxes, blah, blah, blah, want to cut your taxes, blah, blah, blah." What voters hear from Democrats is: "Must pay down the debt first, blah, blah, blah, must pay down the debt first, blah, blah, blah." For skeptical voters with already low expectations of government, this is not a tough choice.
The great accomplishment of Reagan and the supply-siders was to persuade the old-guard Republican Party that its root- canal approach to fiscal policy was a loser--and that recklessness can be a win-win proposition for their side. If the Trojan horse approach succeeds in winning regressive tax-cuts, the GOP delivers huge rewards to its favorite clients. If this also creates a big hole in the federal budget, that's OK too, since runaway deficits will throw another collar around the size of the federal government and provide yet another reason to slash the liberals' social spending. With clever marketing, the GOP may even persuade voters it was spendthrift Democrats who created the red ink. Even recession is OK if the timing is as lucky as the Gipper's. When this recession ends, Bush will credit his tax cuts for the recovery and claim vindication in time for re-election.
Democrats, meanwhile, are the "responsibles," telling the people to save their allowance for a rainy day. They were led into this cul-de-sac by the champion of artful deception, Bill Clinton. Two years ago, when the prospect of burgeoning federal surpluses arose, Clinton devised a very clever ploy to hold off Republican tax-cutters. We will not spend the extra trillions, he announced, we will pay off the national debt. Democrats felt exceedingly virtuous about this position, although they understood that the subtext was quite different: The surpluses would allow government to do big things again for people--someday, but not yet. A different kind of leader might have recognized that politics doesn't wait for ten-year budget projections. If Democrats wished to accomplish big things like universal healthcare or helping debt-soaked families, they should have gone for it right then while the resources were available. Instead, Clinton's stratagem actually adopted the old-time religion that Reagan had shed--a loss of nerve that is the opposite of activist government. Some Dems are agitating to change that, proposing a genuine commitment to healthcare reform and other measures, but others have internalized the bookkeeper politics and are preaching hair-shirt economics: Cancel any tax cuts if a severe recession wipes out our sacred surplus. That's a righteous recipe for more pain.
One more point: Both parties are playing with a phony deck of cards. No matter what unfolds this season, the government is not going to reduce the "national debt." On the contrary, the government's total indebtedness is going to keep growing steadily, from $5.6 trillion right now to $6.7 trillion by 2011. Despite what you read in the newspapers, that occurs with or without tax cuts and even if all the outstanding Treasury bonds are paid off (if you still don't believe it, check the CBO's latest budget forecast with its chart on page 17). The awkward fact neither party brings up is that federal financing has depended crucially on collecting more money than it needs from working people since 1983, when both parties collaborated in a great crime of bait and switch. After Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy and business in 1981, he turned around two years later and raised Social Security payroll taxes dramatically on workers (earnings above $76,000 are exempted from Social Security taxes). Ever since, workers have been paying in extra money toward their future retirement--trillions more than needed now by Social Security--and the government simply borrows the surplus revenue to spend on other things: upper-income tax cuts or paying off Treasury bonds or reducing the fiscal damage from deficits in the operating budget.
Taxing one class of citizens--the broad ranks of working people--so government can devote the money to other people and purposes is not only wrong but profoundly deceptive, bait and switch on a grand scale. Government still owes workers the money, of course, and someday will have to find the borrowed trillions somewhere, either by raising taxes or borrowing the money or possibly by cutting Social Security benefits. When FICA taxes were raised in 1983, Reagan at first objected and reminded aides that he was opposed to raising taxes--of any kind. David Stockman reassured him. If the rising payroll-tax burden was imposed on young working people, they would eventually revolt and Social Security would self-destruct of its own weight. The Gipper liked that and gave his OK. The same objective, now called privatization, shows up again this year on George W. Bush's agenda. He proposes to "save" Social Security by destroying it.

Vaughan, Brian K.
Adult Fiction VAUGHAN
Summary: From one of America's most acclaimed comics writers a startlingly original look at life on the streets of Baghdad during the Iraq War inspired by true events. In the spring of 2003, a pride of lions escaped from the Baghdad Zoo during an American bombing raid. Lost and confused, hungry but finally free, the four lions roamed the decimated streets of Baghdad in a desperate struggle for their lives. In documenting the plight of the lions, Pride of Baghdad raises questions about the true meaning of liberation - can it be given, or is it earned only through self-determination and sacrifice? And in the end, is it truly better to die free than to live life in captivity? Based on a true story, Vaughan and Henrichon have created a unique and heartbreaking window into the nature of life during wartime, illuminating this struggle as only the graphic novel can.

SOUTH AFRICA: BOWHUNT: 3rd trip with African Arrow Safaris!
This was undoubtedly the most exciting, adrenaline rushing and exilarating hunt I have ever been on in my life. Happened with Harry Nel and African Arrow Safaris. First rattle out of the box, we got to hunt in the Kalahari region of RSA for a spot and stalk bowhunt for and African lioness. Success came quick with a 42 yards shot during the lunch hour on a 400+ pound lioness and a 40 yard death run! We had been on the track since early in the morning. My hunting partner killed the other lioness of this group a little over an hour later after about a half mile spot and stalk. 20 yards hot with her in a tree anchored her to the ground in under 20 seconds! We trekked back to the main lodge in the Limpopo for a Waterbuck kill and 2 spot and stalk Limpopo River Bushbuck kills by Monty, my hunting partner. His first Bushbuck kill completed his Spiral Slam and the first for a bowhunter with AAS. I was very lucky to harvest a very old mature Klipspringer out of a hide and then followed that up with 2, yes 2 spot and stalk kills on Bushbucks on the same day on 2 different concessions along the Limpopo River. My first also completed my Spiral Slam. The 4 of us hunting with Harry connected on 21 animals with one wife wanting to get in the action and taking a Blue Wildebeest and Gemsbock with a crossbow. If you are ever looking for 5 star accomodations, food and trophy animals, look no further than African Arrow Safaris. Limited # of hunters per 10 day hunt and limited number of hunters per year contribute to the quantity and trophy quality of the game. I will put the trophy quality of the animals we have taken in 3 hunts with Harry against anyone in South Africa. I receive no special pricing or favors and I am not a booking agent, jsut a very satisfied customer that knoew what AAS has to offer a serious bowhunter in South Africa. I have included pics of my lioness, Klipspringer, Monty's and my first Bushbucks and my 2nd Bushbuck. Enjoy.

The real loser of the recession is rural America is the headline for a Wonkblog post by Lydia DePillis. Here's the bad news:
[T]he rural areas that are being left behind.
Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released its annual survey of rural America, which puts the divergence in stark relief. Non-metropolitan areas experienced their first recorded period of population loss, and a decline in the labor force participation rate pushed unemployment down slightly (though the jobless rate surpassed the urban unemployment rate earlier this year). But even as the rest of the country entered a tepid recovery, and some rural areas gained jobs from the natural gas boom, net employment didn't budge rural regions.
The article is based on this U.S. Dept. of Agriculture report:
High-poverty counties (with a poverty rate of 20 percent or higher) are often geographically clustered. Of 703 high-poverty counties in the United States in 2007-11, 571 were nonmetro, mostly in the South and Southwest. Most high-poverty counties are in or near Native American reservations or in areas with high concentrations of Blacks or Hispanics. Most predominantly White counties with high poverty rates are in Appalachia.

The EEC specializes in assessing an individual's disability as well as his or her functional skills, strengths, weaknesses, and capacities. Our team follows a collaborative approach throughout the evaluation and treatment recommendation process. Recommendations and accommodations are made across multiple settings including home, school, college, work, and community. All EEC team members are nationally and/or state certified with significant experience in the field of special education. Our team is also experienced in providing assessment, consultation, graduate coursework, and in-service training.

An experience you should NEVER miss – This is definitely the best place I have ever eaten. It is close to fine dining and the menu is well crafted by the chef to tell a story. Every dish is a fusion of subtle but very well crafted flavors that leaves a mark well after it is completed over. You would like to go back to it again and again. The stories are bold.
Let it be the drinks (CO COJITO, "MMM" MALTED MILK MARTINI), the teasers (CHARCUTERIE PLATE), the surf (CREOLE CRABCAKE), or the turf (beef and lamb trio, beef tenderloin), they were simply mind blowing. I have never tasted a lamb slider like this before. Its unique blend of lamb with potato and yogurt base was just amazing. The stage was set so high that probably the beef tenderloin was my least favorite. It did not offer the same unique experience.
Now having said all the above, one would make a serious mistake not to try out the desert. Having complete faith on the chef, we decided to go with chef's 5 course. Trust me when I say he is the master of chocolate inspired deserts. One can just not go wrong with any of them. So have faith in him and go for the complete experience.
You need to enjoy this with someone who loves such experiences. I hear from friends that it can get little crowded on normal weeknights and especially weekends. So be aware of the same.
Enjoy the experience and definitely take time to say thank you to chef. He was kind enough to take the time out to spend few minutes with us and we could not thank him enough for the experience.
Obviously not to forget, I would have never been here if not for my friend Reshma. So a big thanks to her and I plan to be back soon.
Great sweets and awesome drinks – I've been to Co Co. Sala a handful of times in the past and remember really enjoying some of their desserts. I don't remember exactly what was ordered, but I remember being pleased. But then again, it's pretty hard for desserts to go too wrong for me so I'm an easy sell in that arena.
This week I attended an event here and my memory was jogged about the digs and this time I paid a little more attention.
The restaurant and lounge is sexy: dim lighting, warm colors, visible chocolate plates on display, cozy seating areas and an illuminated bar. It's a nice place to mingle or maybe grab a drink on a first date. It's not too loud, not too quiet and not too intimate, but just enough that if things were going well, things might continue to.
A chocoholic's paradise – CoCo Sala's forte is dessert, especially chocolate and all forms of it. They offer an extensive selection of desserts, including multi-course ones: 4 sets of themed "Monde"s with an amuse, a main (which has several parts) and petit fours. One of these is big enough to serve as both dinner and dessert, but if your stomach is big enough you can order one of their tapas-style savory dishes. CoCo's takes on macaroni and cheese are worth making enough room for, especially their Bacon Mac & Cheese - creamy shells and pasta underneath a crunchy, baked top and garnished with a chocolate-covered piece of bacon. That last component will show you that bacon really does go with everything.
CoCo Sala does drinks well too with it's selection of signature cocktails. They also offer a pre-fixe brunch on Sundays and a pre-theater menu, both of which are excellent deals.
You will have to expect to pay quite a bit if you go to CoCo Sala at a time other than brunch or pre-theater. Their savory dishes run from $7 to $12, and dessert (which should not be optional if you come here) can run up to $22 (i.e. for a Monde). Personally, and maybe it's because I really love chocolate, I think it's worth it.
Citysearch Editorial Review – Sumptuous desserts dominate the menu at this chocolate-themed boutique restaurant and lounge. Each featured dessert has three courses that fit a theme, like the Aztec Experience--watch out for the chipotle soufflé center--or Childhood Favorites, which includes chocolate peanut butter ice cream, donuts and strawberry cheesecake with pop rocks. That doesn't mean that the more traditional tapas-like courses--called Co Co Bites--should be ignored. Mac and cheese gets a sophisticated makeover with flourishes such as fresh sage, garlic shrimp or a cream cheese crust, and chocolate shows up in surprising places, as on the crab cake lollipops dipped in a chipotle chocolate tomato glaze. Round out the meal with a flight of bubbly--it's accompanied by strawberries and delicate chocolate curls.

text: I don't know that area but shallow water may be hard to locate in your area? Hard pumping on the pitcher pump usually means that 1) you haven't reached water; 2) the well point is plugged with clay. When the 1-1/4" pipe takes water fast it usually indicates you have reached a sufficient amount of water (meaning 3 to 4 gpm). That's about all that you can pump with a pitcher pump! Unless a reasonable amount of water is reached and it rises to 30 or less feet from the top of the pump when the well is at rest you won't be able to pump it with a pitcher pump.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF VARIABLE STAR OBSERVERS 25 Birch Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA email@example.com Tel. 617-354-0484 Fax 617-354-0665 AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 333 (January 21, 2006)
SUBJECT: Possible New Dwarf Nova in Cet (ASAS023322)
Bogumil Pilecki, Warsaw University Astronomical Observatory, reports on a possible new nova or dwarf nova discovered by the ASAS3V instrument. Coordinates by David Boyd (BDG) using UCAC2 as reference are:
RA: 02:33:21.398 +/- 0.07 Decl.: -10:47:04.55 +/- 0.07 (J2000)
The previously unobserved object was first detected by ASAS3V on Jan 20.121 UT at magnitude 12.08 in V.
The new object has been confirmed by the following AAVSO observations:
Jan 21.779 12.58 +/- 0.02 CCD V David Boyd England Jan 21.9136 13.18 +/- N/A CCD Unfiltered Diego Rodriguez Spain Jan 21.96 12.5 +/- N/A CCD V Cristovao Jacques Brazil Jan 22.0882 12.7 Visual Dan Taylor Canada Jan 22.1490 12.99 +/- 0.01 CCD Unfiltered Tom Krajci USA
Time series observations by Tom Krajci do not reveal any short term modulation at this time, however the data set is short. Please take CCD time series observations for as long as possible in the next few days and submit your observations to the AAVSO. If this is a UGWZ type dwarf nova then superhumps will be detected, and a change in their hase may be detected early in the outburst. Visual observations are requested to monitor the star's long term behavior. Spectroscopic observations would also help to determine the star's type.
Pilecki reports that one star is located close to this position in the USNOB catalog:
# id| RA| DEC| B1| R1| B2| 0792-0024872 02:33:21.3620 -10:47:04.940 18.180 18.620 19.340 19.15

Until a more formal designation is assigned, submit data to the AAVSO as "ASAS023322" with a designation of 9999+99.
A web page [6] coordinating this campaign will be created and posted to www.aavso.org in the next couple of days. Discussion is requested to take place on the AAVSO Photometry discussion group.
This campaign will be coordinated by Aaron P. (email@example.com).

New animal shelter plans win 'final' approval10:00 am | February 8, 2013
After years of planning and months of delays, the final site plans for the new Elizabethton/Carter County Animal Shelter have been approved, with a single condition attached.
The Elizabethton Regional Planning Commission unanimously approved the plans, with a condition that the landscaping plan be submitted in writing in the next 60 days.
Director of Planning and Development Jon Hartman said the project would be a nice shelter when it was completed. He noted the building would be built just outside the flood plain, so those restrictions would not apply to the construction.
He said one area of concern was that the landscaping plans for the road frontage and around the building had not been included. Hartman said he had talked with architect Joey White, who said there were plans to add landscaping, but the shelter committee wanted to make sure they had enough funding to complete the building before adding extras.
He said White told him they were going to be working with a local Boy Scout troop to add trees along the property.

Nestlé publishes 2013 Annual Report
We have published our 2013 Annual Report (pdf, 5Mb), outlining our performance over the past year and our strategic ambitions for 2014 and beyond.
Nestlé's CEO Paul Bulcke said the results achieved over the last year reflected both a focus on short-term growth and long-term performance.
"The results in 2013 showed our determination to grow your company profitably and sustainably, allowing us to deliver over time the Nestlé Model of organic growth of 5–6% together with improvements in our trading operating profit margin and earnings per share in constant currencies and in our capital efficiency. Indeed, our average organic growth has been 6.1% over the last ten years, during which time we also consistently improved our operating profit margin," he said.
The Annual Report contains our Corporate Governance Report (pdf, 3Mb) and our Financial Statements (pdf, 1Mb). It is published alongside the summary report Nestlé in society: Creating Shared Value and meeting our commitments (pdf, 3Mb) and a new document, our Year in Review (pdf, 6Mb).
Kim Jeffery, former NWNA CEO and Chairman, shared his perspectives on business, leadership, and sustainability with the Penn State Smeal College of Business on Friday, April 4, as part of the college's Executive Insights series. Jeffery participated in a moderated discussion with Charles H. Whiteman, Dean of Smeal.

I Read It in a Magazine
No one can resist flipping through the pages of a magazine—in waiting rooms, while traveling, or anywhere. One that I love to browse through, and one that is popular among our library's users, is the "women's magazine," Modern Priscilla (1887-1930). Originally focused on dress patterns, china painting, and needlework, the magazine's scope was subsequently enlarged to cover other aspects of women's home life.
